Montero gets Jeep headlights | Project "Vader's Chariot"

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Due to youknowwhat there was shortage of headlights and mine were all cracked. So decided to try installing the 7 inch round jeep headlights. There were only a couple of pics online of someone doing it, so a lot of it ended up being a bit of a puzzle to figure out.

    There is at least one example of that in the Montero 3rd gen FB group where a guy reused the lenses and epoxied the jeep lights to the housing. It looked pretty good. Another option I was considering was to get a piece of lexan or plexiglass (whatever is durable), and cut out a piece to cover up the center but havent had a need yet.

    Yeah you don't have to cut the lens at all. Just open it up, install the light and close back up. I've seen a couple done like that. In that case though I'd go with a different style retrofit that's specific to the Monty. Mine were cracked pretty badly so I just cut them off.

    Figure it should be ok considering you have spots in the lower and upper grille that are open year round. You could also get a small sheet of clear plexy or lexan type material and cut out covers that can be just easily screwed in the depression left in the stock black plastic housing.
